You're actually very good at ******* about on this forum, more so than me sadly. Probably it's you who doesn't have a job or responsibilities, which allows you to give trolling here your full attention.
Euthanasia need to be considered in UK?

Fortunately you're not very good at memes, as demonstrated by you captioning that Facebook boomer-tier cringe.
You want memes, get the mods to unban me from the random images thread, and even better have them stop insta-deleting my stuff everywhere else on this forum when I get too clever / offensive
Use your famous forum personality clout for good for once #unleash Vexr

I don't know what the best solution is here, but I've seen 2 people die from particularly aggressive forms of cancer and I'd put myself down before going through that. When you are not allowed to visit someone because of the pain they are in and you later learn that they were howling like a rabid animal on all fours on the floor with a double spinal shunt and enough pain medication to drop a small horse, it gives you perspective.
I've worked for the NHS for over a decade including a stint in palliative care - the worst thing? Most cancers are close to, but not top of the list of "painful ways we can keep you alive but you will die anyway"
It's very sobering and makes me appreciate life.

Because most/all religions abhor suicide and some (like Catholics and Muslims) say that anyone who commits suicide will go to Hell.
This Bill only allows people who 2 doctors agree have 6 months, or less, to live to apply for an assisted death. It cannot be used by depressed teenagers and other people who are not acutely terminally ill. To say that it is a slippery slope is nonsense, because the principle is that it is only to help people who are going to die soon anyway (to save them a great deal of pain and distress).
You have been consuming too much Science Fiction! Be logical. Why would the state want physically healthy 20-year-olds to die? They are going to be taxpayers for an average of 60 years into the future!
It was illegal because most of the laws on the statute book were written based on the dogmas of Christianity. I doubt that those who have seen their friends/relatives at death's door for weeks with the inadequate healthcare provision available (in many cases) would say that "we got by". Until it has happened to someone you care about it is easy to ignore though.
Absolute nonsense. Is it compassionate to keep someone in agonising pain and doped up to their eyeballs with morphine alive if they want to die? All they have to look forward to is getting worse every day until they die. They are going to die soon anyway; so how can it be about depopulation and wealth redistribution?
Palliative end-of-life healthcare in this country is underfunded (and its funding did not improve every time they voted down an assisted dying bill in the past), so it's not as if successive governments have ever made the welfare of people who are dying a priority. The hospices for the terminally ill that we have in this country are paid for by charities FFS.
What is your job in the NHS?
Head of vaccinations.
Car park attendant
Except in Canada, who is pioneering this experiment and creating the leading example for all other nations to follow.
Give it time and there'll be no 'two doctors, 6 months, going to die anyway, blah blah' oppressive measures that infringe on the human right to die with state assistance, immediately and without question.

None of your business, but rest assured I've been with the NHS since 2014. Before that I had the lived experience of being part of the 111 service.
What qualifications and experience are you bringing to this discussion?
What's the objection to someone opting out if they so choose? No one should be forced to live regardless of reason. To me at least.

Don’t give him so much credit - trolls aren’t that intelligent.
It's a relief that Gen X'rs and Boomers can't meme, and when they try, it's immediately identifiable by the cringe that they tried and failed.

Did you get so upset by that post you had to reply to it twice, 5 hours apart?
Blah blah, shut your eyes and 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' and the the things Vexr said on this forum will not have happened, and you'll wake up joyous to the latest Guardian headlines.
I don't give you any credit either and put zero faith in you types having any intelligence / redeeming qualities.
I'm nearly ******* myself with the replies they are giving
Sounds like it's all petering out and you have nothing to say if that's all you've got.
Not angry, but I am aware I went 'all in' this time, and I had a responsibility to follow up on what I've said and that may include making my disdain toward various parties incriminated by my take very clear.
Well, you wanted to reassure that you were good at it, so I thought I'd ask.
I also worked in 111 pathways around the same time.
Only the terminally ill. Hopefully it'll improve in future.
